  • Nicknames and Women Professional Baseball Players Brenda S
    Names, Vol. 38, No.4 (December) Nicknames and Women Professional Baseball Players Brenda S. Wilson and James K. Skipper, Jr. Abstract Although women in the general population tend to have fewer nicknames than men, women baseball players in the All-American Girls Baseball League, 1943-1954, were as likely as male baseball players to have public nicknames. This high percentage may be the result of women baseball players taking on the role of nicknamer, since the group in power is more likely to bestow public nicknames and more likely to bestow them on members of their own group. Public nicknames may be a reflection of the power differential between men and women in a given environment. ***** Although it is generally recognized that nicknames are an important cultural element in American society, systematic research has been sparse, and almost none of it focuses on women. In sports, nicknaming has probably been more prevalent than in other areas of American life (Blount). Professional baseball provides a rich source of data to study the use of nicknames in American society.1 Professional baseball is usually thought of as a man's activity, but in the 1940s women played in a professional league. As with men, nicknames were commonly used, and it is the objective of this report to investigate the extent of nickname use and the types of nicknames these women ball players had. The goal is to better understand the use of women's nicknames in American society. Women's Professional Baseball In 1943, Philip K. Wrigley, owner of the Chicago Cubs, created the All-American Girls Baseball League.

  • The Evolution and Marketing of Women in Baseball and the All American Girls Professional Baseball League
    The Evolution and Marketing of Women in Baseball and the All American Girls Professional Baseball League An Honors Thesis (HONORS 499) By Mia Trimboli Thesis Advisor Dr. Trey Strecker Ball State University Muncie, Indiana Date: May 2009 Expected Date of Graduation: May 2009 Abstract '7 ! The All American Girls Professional Baseball league was the only formal professional baseball league for women in the history of the United States. Formed shortly after America's entrance into World War II, the league was used to soften the blow that the war had on American morale and keep professional baseball alive while many mqjor and minor league players were joining the military. From beginning to end, one of the most crucial parts of the league's success was the time, attention and money that were paid to marketing the league. This honors thesis will explore the evolution of women in baseball, focusing on the AAGPBl and the marketing and public relations efforts that were used. Acknowledgments • I would like to thank Dr. Trey Strecker for advising me throughout this project and providing me with a multitude of resources. • I would also like to thank George Rugg, curator of Department of Special Collections for the University libraries of Notre Dame, for granting me access to the Joyce Sports Research Collection. • I would like to thank lucy Sears and her mother, Janet "Pee Wee" Wiley Sears for providing me with invaluable information. • I would also like to thank the Honors College and its entire faculty for their assistance throughout my project. • I would like to thank author and AABPGl researcher Merrie Fidler for providing me with assistance and many useful sources.
